Welcome to Gospel Truth with Andrew Wamek, celebrating 25 years of sharing God's unconditional love and grace on television.

The difference with Keras is the discipleship factor. It's not just a bunch of head knowledge, but Andrew teaches us how to bring God's word down into our lives to apply it. And it's taught me to build

great intimacy with the Lord. And now here's Andrew. Welcome to our Thursday's broadcast of the

and the truth shall make you free. And so he was speaking to believers, people who believed on him.

And he says, you have to continue in the word word and then you'll be set free. So being
